Kathy suggested watching the class all the way through before actually making it, and it was great advice. I made notes along the way to make it slightly different than her version (think swing-out frames with Velcro closures), and it was that simple to make it my own. The hinge system is genius, and I have already made about a dozen other albums, some in different sizes with a different number of pages. They all turned out beautifully. I would take another of her classes in a minute!

I felt this class was superior to many of the other classes I have taken online. All instructions were easy to follow, the end product was something to be proud to give and anxious to make more. Much of what was taught is applicable many times over on other projects. I really hope to find more of her classes available here and other sites.
